Description
The house history, commissioned from local historian Neil Rhind MBE, identifies several previous occupants with maritime and naval connections; an early occupant, 1845-46, was Elizabeth Brockelbank, widow of the founder of the General Steam Navigation Co. The Brazilian film director Alberto Cavalcanti, who worked at the GPO Film Unit in Bennett Park in the 1930s on famous documentaries such as Night Mail, lived in this house 1945-50 when he was directing films at Ealing Studios.
Spanning a total of 2,841 sq.ft (264 sq.m), the property boasts a wealth of features including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, feature fireplaces, bespoke built-in storage and sash windows, with secondary glazing throughout. During the refurbishment in 2013, the electrical wiring and plumbing were completely replaced and a modern gas-fired central heating system with Megaflo was installed. The house was also fitted with a Sonos sound system.
The accommodation comprises: large entrance hall leading to two elegant, interconnected reception rooms, with views directly over the Heath to the front and the garden to the rear. There is an attractive modern kitchen/breakfast room, a cloakroom and laundry/utility room. Upstairs are seven bedrooms on two floors. The first floor provides four bedrooms, two of which are particularly spacious doubles - one with ensuite shower room – together with a large family bathroom with separate shower and bath. On the top floor are three further double bedrooms and a modern bathroom, again with separate shower and bath.
To the rear is a wonderful 85ft landscaped garden with patio, extensive lawn and an 18’ x 6’ partly concealed garden shed. The garden has side access from Angerstein Lane, an un-adopted private road adjacent to the property.
Due to its enviable corner position, the property benefits from private parking for two cars at the side of the house, and a vehicle gate and short drive at the end of the garden. This off-street parking at the side has also enabled the development of a very pretty and well-kept front rose garden - which many of the neighbouring houses have had to sacrifice for parking.
The sale also includes the freehold to a two bedroom garden flat which is found on the lower ground floor and is on a 125 year lease. The Garden Flat is also available for sale by separate negotiation. Any interested parties please contact the office for further information.
